Inigo Manglano-Ovalle: The Krefeld Suite

Inigo Manglano-Ovalle has domesticated icebergs, inviting them into two Mies van der Rohe villas in Krefeld, Germany. The houses appear here decorated in matched sets of color photographs of those floating, melting monuments, and identical sculptures based on them. For good measure, the furniture is covered with white cloth: icebergs in the middle of the rooms. The illustrated book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Inigo Manglano-Ovalle: The Krefeld Suite, Museen Haus Lange and Haus Esters, Krefeld, 2005.

Inigo Manglano-Ovalle has had solo exhibitions at The Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and has participated in such important group exhibitions as the 2000 Whitney Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum's 2002 Moving Pictures and 2007's Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany. He was featured on the PBS series Art 21 in the fall of 2007. Manglano-Ovalle was featured in our 2008 visual arts exhibition, The Marfa Sessions.
